Newtown Festival 2017: the Inner West’s beating heart where good vibes were felt by all

Thanks for the good times once again, Newtown Festival. Now in its 39th year, the annual event run by Newtown Neighbourhood Centre feels as fun, fresh and fantastically weird as ever.

How many festivals in all of Australia have been running for 39 years? It’s a long stint for sure, yet heading to Newtown Festival in 2017 had the feeling of something new, exciting and groovy beyond all belief.
